Notes

1

The Annals of Aman in volume 10 of The History of Middle-earth give us some definite dates for the Journey. The Vanyar and the Noldor took nearly two centuries to travel from Cuiviénen to Beleriand, while the Teleri took about thirty years longer. The Journey was completed more than 3,500 years before the beginning of the First Age. (This was in fact long before the making of the Sun, so the values shown here are converted to solar years from the much longer 'Valian Years' used in the Annals.)
